A Clackamas County grand jury has declined to bring criminal charges against three Clackamas County Sheriff's Office SWAT team members who shot and killed a Molalla-area man who pointed a gun at them.

The grand jury returned a finding of "not true bill" after reviewing evidence, said Clackamas County prosecutor Lewis Burkhart.

Deputies responded to a 911 call about a disturbance at the home of 36-year-old Shane Griffin. He had assaulted and strangled his wife in front of their children. The woman fled the home with the children.

Deputies spent hours negotiating with Griffin, making contact several times by phone and text messages, but Griffin was not cooperative, and the SWAT team was activated, a Sheriff's Office spokesman said at time.

Griffin confronted the officers with a gun in each hand, a .40-caliber and a 9mm, Burkhart said.

When he pointed a gun at police, three SWAT team members -- Sgt. Anthony Kollias, Dep. Nick Adler and Det. Jeff Miller -- fired a total of five shots at Griffin, who was hit three times. Griffin died minutes later, Burkhart said.
